Is there ANY WAY to export this without changing the colors? Anything other than 'gif' that I could export to that would have a similar effect? Then I tried to export the file as a gif and ran into the 'indexed or grayscale' issue. When I did the 'playback' though, it worked! IT FINALLY WORKED! i was so happy I had spent so long trying to get it to work. I put on the background frame and on the foreground frame and then 'processed animastack tags' and it grouped together all frames with the foreground and background so I had 54 separate groups. Even though each frame said 'replace', it didn't seem to actually replace the previous frame. This required me to go through each of the 54 frames and select 'Lighten Only'. I used the 'Lighten Only' effect on the rest of the images on the signature, so I wanted to keep the gif that way too. I didn't know any other way to do this, so I simply separated all 54 frames and edited each photo myself, and then re-formatted them back into a gif. I wanted to make an animated Gif image and I wanted the original gif to be transparent. I recently hit a road block that I can't seem to get around and I'm not sure if it's possible at all. I particularly got it so that I could create my own signature for a forum that I participate on regularly.

This is my first post and I'm a bit familiar with GIMP but am still kind of a newbie to the program.
